A True Mentor
A mentor can come when you least expect it and that’s what happened to me when I first started my business. At the time I started my VA business I was working a direct sales type business and was not having any luck what so ever.
You see I’m not very good at calling people and asking them to look at what I do and join in. While I’m a great talker and I love to talk I’m not good at cold calls and trying to push something on others. It’s just not me in anyway. So with that said, I was looking for something new and different. That’s when I found my mentor.
I was on a social networking site called Ryze at the time. I joined a group that was for work at home mom’s and the lady that ran it was amazing. She was always posting wonderful things that would help the mom’s in her group. The conversations were wonderful and I learned so much from that site. I also found that the site owner was always willing to help and she was always full of encouraging words.
While she probably never knew this, she was was a great mentor to me. She was always encouraging me and telling me to go for my dreams. I trusted her opinions and one day I will see the success that she has. I will always remember those encouraging words and will keep them in my mind for the rest of my life.
